Kitagawa Orthodontics
About
Located in Takamiya-cho, Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture, Kitagawa Orthodontic Clinic is a dental clinic specializing in orthodontics. Situated on the first floor of Wealth Mori, the clinic is equipped with parking. Under the direction of Dr. Hidenori Kitagawa, treatment begins with a detailed explanation of the patient's current dental condition, and treatment methods are sought that align as closely as possible with the patient's wishes. However, some treatments may carry high risks or be impossible to implement depending on the situation, in which case priority is given to the current condition and the treatment method is determined after obtaining the patient's understanding. While some may have the impression that orthodontic treatment involves applying strong stress to the teeth themselves, since it's impossible to force things during long-term treatment, it's explained that the discomfort of having a foreign object in the mouth is a passing point to achieve the goal. Orthodontic treatment that doesn't impose unnecessary stress on the teeth is provided, and treatment is available at any age. The timing of starting treatment, costs, and precautions during the treatment period are thoroughly explained, and English-language service is also available. Clinic hours are 10:00-13:00 and 15:00-19:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, while Wednesdays, Sundays, and holidays have morning-only treatment on alternate weeks. Closed days are Thursdays, 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays, 2nd and 4th Wednesdays, holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, and Obon holidays.
